Abstract
A first one or more messages is received, the one or more messages including a request for a storage expansion device for an extension of a provider network, an identifier of the extension of the provider network, and a set of one or more identifiers associated with objects to load to the storage expansion device. For each identifier in the set, an object associated with the identifier is copied from an object store of the provider network to the storage expansion device.
